Femme Brutale presents Sensual Living Systems™ which unfolds in three parts: Sella — to sit; Tabula — to rest; and Volume — to interject.
Through a language of metaphor, volume, and material, Femme Brutale creates objects that balance utility with beauty, playfulness with precision, and starkness with warmth.
At the foundation of Femme Brutale is a simple form, a cube with a single curved edge, which in isolation is stark, unyielding, brutal.
The form is repeated and treated; carved, clad, burnt. Wood becomes undulating, fur is etched to invoke wood grain, glass becomes molten and is preserved in sensual, lucid forms. Some shimmer, some seemingly deaden light, and some invoke touch.
